:D I love classics but I'd probably go for something newer. Say, a 1999 Honda Civic hatch, with a modified V-tec. Those engines are amazing! White, with a carbon bonnet, with Rays engineering 18" rims. And the biggest exhaust you could find! Also have a softspot for Rotary's. Hell, I dont know!

Not a mini? gee Porsche GT3? :wink:

But seriously I'd love to do a classic Shaguar one day or even an all american classic Mustang. A mate of mine in the US owns a fully restored Cobra, that's pretty sweet... got same 7" mini headlights! :shock:

Something like this:

How about a tzero?
0-100 in a tad over 4 seconds from an electric car!

Thought about putting one of these motors in a Mini or a Moke, but just the motor and controller (no batteries) was US$25,000 + shipping.

Gotta be the 1600 datto or even a 2 door 180b SSS with a FJ20T or SR20DET. Had the indie diff and wasnt a bad looking car(although the standard hubcaps would have to go...) :D

Well Doc I would be getting rid of it!!

Fiat is in multi Billion dollar trouble, in trouble with GM the new prospective owner for selling off a business unit without telling them and Ferrari may be forced to cut back on F1 and chip in....can you imagine the shame in Italy of Fiat being "furren owned".

Fiat used to be the poor man's Alfa- when Alfa was Gov't owned. Then Alfa got in trouble and sold to Fiat.. :lol:
Anything could happen... remember Daewoo. :wink:
